[Bigbang-dev] Bigbang at the IETF111 Hackathon, July 19-23, with prep on July 16

[Nick Doty]

Hi all,

I've been working on getting data on organizational affiliation and then
mapping that to mailing list activity; here's a notebook:
https://github.com/npdoty/bigbang/blob/organizations/examples/organizations/finding-affiliations.ipynb

Attached graphs show three IETF mailing lists (dprive, doh, ietf-privacy
discussion list) with the number of participants from each organization and
how many total messages sent. Seems like large companies may have more
participants, but they can still send fewer messages than prominent 1-2
participants from academia or a non-profit, and different companies seem to
have different approaches.

Christoph has started to make similar graphs of some 3GPP lists, based on
email domain (which is a clearer signal in that forum, it seems). And Seb
has been working on measures of entropy or other statistical inferences to
distinguish domains of different organizational types. (I'm not sure Seb's
latest status.)

If you've been hacking and have results to share, let me know, as I'll be
putting together a few slides this afternoon (12 hours from now) to present
at the hackathon wrap-up. And we'll have our last check-in call to wrap-up
at 10am Eastern (8.5 hours from now, so I better go to sleep).

Questions or ideas based on any of this affiliation stuff most welcome
on-list.
Cheers,
Nick
